The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here again – same spot, different numbers. Riviere de Galets is a reef and point break that usually offers a decent mix, but this 16-day window is mostly average aside from one absolute beauty of a day. Water temp is about 77°F, a couple degrees warmer than normal – so you’ll be comfy in a shorty or just boardies.
Overall Pattern: Wednesday 15 July is a wash: rain showers, cross-off breeze, 7–8ft ESE swell at a short 9 seconds – just messy. But Thursday 16 July is your golden ticket. Morning brings north wind at 6 mph offshore, clear skies, and a clean 6–7ft ESE swell (9s). Wave energy sits at 827 – solid moderate. That offshore wind will keep those faces clean as a whistle. Then Thursday afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions, west-northwest wind at only 3 mph, dead calm, same 6–7ft swell. That’s the standout. Crowds are sometimes around, but worth it.
Friday 17 July morning holds a small 3ft south groundswell with a long 17-second period, cross-off wind, energy 765 – nice shape but tiny, better for a longboard. Friday afternoon picks up to 4ft (16s) but cross-shore wind starts to crumble it. From Saturday 18 July onward, onshore winds take over – SSE or S, light to gentle – and the swell shifts southwest. Quality tanks; expect mostly poor to marginal conditions.
Second Week Glimpse: Around Sunday 26 July, a big SW groundswell hits: 11–12ft at 17 seconds Sunday morning with cross winds at 15 mph. Combined energy is a massive 6405 – strong. But that size is too big for this break – experts only, and the cross wind isn’t helping. Monday 27 July stays big but cross-onshore, choppy. Tuesday 28 July morning looks better: 7–8ft SW at 17 seconds, cross wind 6 mph, energy 5570 – a possible window for strong intermediates, but it’s a long-range call. Tuesday afternoon brings another 10ft pulse with onshore wind – big and blown.
Final Call: Lock in Thursday 16 July – both the morning and afternoon sessions. Clean, offshore, glassy, and a fun 6–7ft ESE swell. That’s the best of the lot. The rest is either small, windy, too big, or too far off to bank on.
Stay frothing,
Rusty.
